My name is Lori. I am a 48 yr old white female.
I have been having trouble with my neck, shoulders and upper back for
about 5 yrs now. After having several MRIs and a Myelogram, I found out
that I have herniated dics at C5 and C6. Not bad enough to have surgery,
but the pain was awful, I hurt 24/7.

After consulting with my Dr. I decided to try a
Cervical Epidural. I
had heard both good and bad stories on the results of these. I can say
the
procedure itself was not so bad, not as uncomfortable as I originally
thought it would be. Although the day after (Tuesday) was pure Hell, I
felt
as if I had been hit by a train ! I hurt to move my upper body ! No
matter
how I moved my head, my neck hurt. I just kept on the painkillers and
did
nothing most of the day. Now Today (Wednesday) I feel wonderful !!! A
little stiffness in my neck when I turn a certain way, but other than
that
No Pain !! I have had No pain Pills today, and hopefully this will last
for
a while, I still have 2 more shots in my series of injections but not
until
I start to feel the pain start back. I would definitely recommend for
someone to give an Epidural a try for neck relief.
